Haider’s message amounts to an open call to overthrow the “Great Satan,” as regime loyalists and mullahs frequently call the United States. The apathy regarding calls of this nature in the United States itself, as well as in other non-Muslim countries, aids the efforts of jihadists everywhere. There should be zero tolerance and moves toward […]
The Muslim’s Inner Struggles (Part 3)
Never before in the history of Islam has it faced a danger such as this. For the first time, Muslims en masse are reclaiming their place in humanity and rejoining history. Islam has always relied on Muslims being unequivocally Muslim in clear contradistinction to the kafir, the unbeliever, treating the values and mores of the infidel with […]
Canada: Independent Jewish Voices co-founder promotes the “legacy” of the Ayatollah Khomeini
Ken Stone is a founding member of a Leftist Jewish pro-Palestinian group, Independent Jewish Voices. Stone was introduced in a recent speech as a man “who lost many family members in Poland and Russia during the reign of Hitler,” and as a man who “vowed to always stand up against racism and against Israel positioning […]
Iran’s issues with Islam
Since its inception fourteen hundred years ago, Islam has been at war with the people of this planet. Millions of people have been butchered with the sword of Islam and by the savages of Arabia. The conquerors wished to make Islam the favored system of culture, faith and allegiance, utterly destroying other powers. And so, […]
US response to 1979 Iran hostage crisis was hampered by an “American inability to understand” Khomeini
One of the biggest ongoing problems of U.S. foreign policy is a failure to understand what we’re really up against. This problem goes back decades. In Theodore H. White’s America In Search of Itself, there is this telling passage about the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979: Of the negotiating effort, the most biting summary was […]
Robert Spencer: Women are the Key to the Iranian Uprising
Khomeini removed women’s rights. Today, Iranian women remove the hijab. My latest in PJ Media: News out of Iran is scant since the defenders of the Islamic Republic blocked all social media, but that one woman whom the world saw take off her hijab and stand silently and defiantly has become the symbol of the latest […]
Iraq: Sunnis enraged over Mosul school named after Iran’s Khomeini
The biggest beneficiary of the U.S. intervention in Iraq and toppling of Saddam Hussein was the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iraq’s Sunnis were enraged and felt disenfranchised when the U.S.-sponsored elections resulted in the formation of a Shi’ite-dominated government, but that was inevitable, given the Shi’a plurality in the country. But that rage led to […]
Terrorism In Iran: As Ye Reap…
Last week, Iranian-born Islamic State (ISIS) operatives carried out the first known terrorist attack in Iran that was not conducted by elements of the Iranian government against its own people. President Trump condemned the violence, but he also added “We underscore that states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote.” The […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The Non-PC Reason Iran Lies to Obama and the West
Over at PJ Media I discuss Iran’s rationale for its ongoing and constant practice of deception: Newly declassified State Department cables revealed that, in January 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini sent a secret message to the Jimmy Carter White House. He promised that if Carter did not stand in the way of the mullahs taking power in […]
How Ayatollah Khomeini suckered Jimmy Carter
The Ayatollah Khomeini was using taqiyya in its classic sense. The concept of taqiyya as such is specifically Shi’ite, developed during the time of the sixth Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq, in middle of the eighth century, when the Shi’ites were being persecuted by the Sunni caliph al-Mansur. Taqiyya allowed Shi’ites to pretend to be Sunnis in […]
It’s The Way We Live
“The mystery is not the way we die, it’s the way we live.” — Martin Cruz Smith, from Red Star When Jews begin warning the world about apocalyptic possibilities, the world should listen. When we are told that Iran is a much too dangerous country to be interested in nuclear weapons capability, we should take […]
Iran deal “does nothing to change the fact that, in plain Farsi, Iran is committed to world conquest by Islam”
“To treat with the Islamic Republic over the particulars of its weaponry while failing to address the very purpose of its bellicosity is delusional. The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action does nothing to change the fact that, in plain Farsi, Iran is committed to world conquest by Islam, with its clerics as warlords. Those […]
Islamic Republic of Iran: Police arrest 50 women for “un-Islamic” dress
“According to police, they were guilty of wearing “shameful and immoral dress in public,” not in accordance with the Islamic code, which was put in place by Ayatollah Khomeini in the beginning of 1981. He ordered covering all the parts of the body except the face and wrists.” Khomeini didn’t originate that. It comes from […]
